Here's my teaser play:

6 Team/5.5 Pt. Teaser

76ers pk
Wizards +11.5
Bulls +17
Kings +17
Warriors +11
Lakers -2

Risk $50 to win $275

This is a very strong play, I hope you cash it!

For anyone wanting some quarter action tonight, these are what I like

1st Q leans:

IND pk
CLE -4 (that's a hiiigh number for a Q though. definitely wouldn't touch it above -4, and given how they've been playing, probably a no play for me)
TOR -0.5
ORL -3 (probably the #2 1st Q team in the league)

favorite plays are definitely IND and TOR

milkshake, i like the bet cause its 1/50. you have solid picks in their with a couple that make it risky, but thats why its a 1/50! we got some guys in this room who know basketball and then some guys who know gambling. you put that together and we got a good thread here...

my parlay for the night: 20 to win 250 (my bankroll is only 200 right now--> thats what i started with a couple days ago)
pacers/heat over 210
pacers -1.5
knicks/bobcats -196.5
lakers 1H -4.5

pacers are gonna shoot good at home. the knicks cant score to save their life, and larry brown wont let the bobcats score to save theirs

Very true! Like this one. Indiana is a pretty good home team and Miami struggled on the road last year. Lakers FH should be good...DAL is good enough to get their attention.

Ye Has first thing I checked when I got home was the CLE 1Q line. On the road....I think no play is the right play.

yeah, they rolled against BOS but that was the only positive thing i've seen from them this season. Even against the timberwolves I'm not confident. I'd take -1 or under but -4 I don't trust.

I am playing TOR, IND, as well as IND ML for the game. Miami is one of the worst openers in the league and they're on the road.

Looks like the Bobcats are going to score as many points in the 1st half as they did in the other nite's game. Of course I have the under 195.5 . I had a strong lean towards the Cats but didn't pull the trigger.

Monkey - they up 13. Brown will slow the game down to a CRAWL. And NY only has 13 points. DOn't expect CHA to score 26-30 pts a quarter! You might be ok!

And NY is going to lose A LOT of people's $$$ this year. Honestly could see that pathetic franchise TANK jsut to get a high lotto and give LBJ more of a reason to go there!

travisowain · 10-30-09, 06:38 PM

Make lol... bet against the Knicks... tomorrow they play at home against Philly and it's -2 Philly...

milkshakeballa · 10-30-09, 06:45 PM

Agent Zero crossing JSmith and drills the J!!!

Agent Zero for 3!!!!!!! Wow he has looked AWESOME so far. So fun to watch when healthy.

And remember he was a second round pick by Golden State

Milkshake, thanks for the encouragement and that's where I hope this game is going.

Had a cat by the name of milkshake. Wonderful creature. Just died a few months ago on her 20th birthday. Totally outdoor cat and where I live that's not easy.

Off point, I'm sorry.

Just added the Hornets -12 to my list of wagers this evening. Big line but I think the Kings are awful. So that's 5 straight wagers for the evening.

WOW Philly struggling and losing to the BUCKS!

monkeybiz · 10-30-09, 06:58 PM

Early on, the Wizzards look for real. I rank this team 4th or 5th in the East.

RoagBettor · 10-30-09, 06:58 PM

Guys, if you read what I posted the other day, I don't bet unpredictable teams. The Knicks are unpredictable. They could beat Philly tomorrow, no way is Philly a lock. Or they could lose by 30.

I still think they'll cover this game. Knicks are a 2H team and pulled off a lot of backdoor covers last season.

Ace_of_Spades · 10-30-09, 07:00 PM

Yep, mistake made on the Unperdictable Knicks.

LMFAO! Travis, I'm a DDD, is that TMI?

RoagBettor · 10-30-09, 07:01 PM

Ace, don't give up on them yet. I've seen them come back in the 2H against much better teams than the Bobkittens. Have faith!

YES! Welcome to the bandwagon Monkey and let's cash in!!!! Don't even have Jamison!!!! They are def. for real as long as tey stay healthy!! East is VASTLY improved.

Sorry to hear about your cat 2! I have a dog now...half shephard/chow...he is 17! Healthy too! Knock on wood!

Very true, unpredictable is right. No plays for me tomorrow. That is the only line that interest me though. Just check the lines they took it all down except 2...

Straight Picks tonite:

Philly -6.5
Cats/Knicks under 195.5
Washington +6.5
Pistons -5

Still looking at the Hornets (big #) and also a couple of big dogs that would probably have me thrown off the board ! Including the Bulls and I watch every Celtics game and make it to Boston 3 or 4 times a year for a game.

Added the Hornets minus 12 ! Stayed away from my dogs. I'll let you know how that worked out.

milkshakeballa · 10-30-09, 07:04 PM

Guys...Bucks are going to be ATS MONSTERS this year without a doubt. Scott Skiles is a GREAT coach...so underrated. They play so hard. And Redd is healthy. Jennings the first couple minutes also looked decent!

ST, why do you think they left it up? Because they want as much money on Philly as possible.

I think the Sixers pull it out tonight and get beat by the Knicks tomorrow.

RoagBettor · 10-30-09, 07:08 PM

Also, here are some more words of wisdom. Games are 48 minutes long (at least). Don't get too excited about what happens in the 1Q and 1H. Most games are decided in the 2H.

This is so true in the NBA most of the time the 1h has nothing to do with the final out come of a game so just kick back and relax guys don't worry about it.

milkshakeballa · 10-30-09, 07:36 PM

ugh OKC falling apart when Westbrook went to the bench with 2. Stay close youngins!

RoagBettor · 10-30-09, 07:37 PM

The Pacers are stinking it up! Ugh!

haserfauld · 10-30-09, 07:40 PM

yeah they sure are...figures the ones I laid off (CLE, BOS, DET, and ORL) all cover. damn

SportsTerminator · 10-30-09, 07:40 PM

Dwight Howard a double double in the FIRST QUARTER. Wow!
